Trine is a beautiful fantasy action platformer with a fairytale-like atmosphere, following the journey of three heroes - a Wizard, a Knight and a Thief - in a quest to save the kingdom from evil. The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities and tactics can be used to invent new ways to battle an army of undead and overcome obstacles, and restore the balance of the world.

If you have ever wanted to mod Trine or develop your own epic platform adventure you can now do just that.

Whilst there is little supporting documentation at the moment, the Frozenbyte guys have given the full in house tools they used to make the games, here's what they say.

Frozenbyte wrote:The reason we’ve held off releasing the editor to the public before has been quite simple. It’s pretty difficult to use if you don’t know what you’re doing, and there’s *very* little documentation or tooltips.

The Frozenbyte Editor is a very diverse tool. This is what we use to make games like Trine and Trine 2, and it’s based entirely on our own technology. You can now edit existing maps, make new maps and do all kinds of things with it. If this sounds like fun, go a head and play with the features and experiment!

So did we make an easy-to-use version for everyone to enjoy? The answer to that is…not really :) Instead we’ve opened a wiki page and provided some very basic instructions on how to use our editor. It’s an open wiki after you’ve registered, so anyone can edit and post information, and we hope that people will start to share their knowledge with everyone. We’ll also be updating the wiki ourselves and tracking that all the instructions are correct and up-to-date.

RARELY see cool, indie puzzle games looking THIS beautiful. Braid is amazing, but Trine surpasses that in terms of its sheer graphical beauty. It runs pretty fluidly on older hardware, but runs silky smooth on my Radeon HD 6850 with my AMD Phenom II X4 955 OC'd @ 3.9GHz. This game is epic, and I can't wait for Trine 2!

haha seriously I laughed so hard when I watched that trailer!! :D
The way all the enemies get smashed to the beat of the music is just hilarious xD
Great game by the way. Runs really nice in ubuntu 10.04 - 11.10 with Nvidia GTX 550 Ti

I experience some graphical glitches and artifacts during the display of the Frozenbyte (and the other one) logo on Gainward GTX 550Ti GS. Latest drivers, but unlike you, I use openSUSE 12.1. The game is truly awesome, and I'm officially hooked on it.

Trine was fun, one of the few newer games that I actually completed =P. I haven't tried the co-op splitscreen mode yet, but I will during my second playthrough. It's a really beautiful platform game where you will solve different types of puzzles with different character, who has different abilities. There's some bonuses along the way that I like, find hidden items for example, gives you another reason to replay. Good Game!
